This gallery uses pure Polymer to display images which are coming from a Google+ photo album. It uses the core-ajax to send a request to the Picasa web album API.
You can check out a demo here: http://polymer-gallery.appspot.com/
Get the code by cloning the code repository on your local machine
$ git clone https://github.com/aubort/polymer-gallery.git
Go to the new repository and start a HTTP server using python
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
You should see the following output on the console. If you are having trouble with the python simple http server, check out the doc here. https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html#module-SimpleHTTPServer

That’s it, you should be seeing the polymer-gallery!
The gallery can be configured using the app-globals.html file.
In order to display the album of your choice, you will need to replace the userid and albumid variables with the album id and user id of the album you want to display.
Typically, a valid url will look like this:
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/<userid>/albumid/<albumid>?alt=jsonHow to find the correct userid and albumid:
Go to Google Plus and then to the album you want to use. The URL should look like this:
https://plus.google.com/photos/111664409766092880224/albums/5702010536228604337
The first part in bold is the userid and the second one is the albumid.
From there, the <core-ajax> component in the image-service.htmlwill make a call to the rest service and return a json object to the image service - which then will process the response.
